I emailed it to me also. Great video! He showed a real sense of humor there. Wonder how he lost it.
I thought Fischer played his part very well. What I really loved though was watching him in action over the chess board - the way he enveloped the piece in his long but delicate fingers and transported it in a sweeping motion to its destination square was a joy to watch. I'm going to learn how to do that myself, I'm sure the intimidating effect it will have on my opponents will earn me more wins than a month of studying opening tricks or endgame technique.

Ah, forgot, you take care of that problem by not playing anyone here.
